Notfair| 2021 Catalogue 20–30 May 2021 Proudly supported by: A Leap of Faith… |notfair|’s 10th year was last year, but, due to The Plague we were obviously unable to celebrate accordingly. In 2021 we are making up for lost time in a big way. Our 2021 venue is the former Kardinia Church in Windsor. Holding a fair in a former place of worship in a time of post-pandemic insecurity and enduring hardship for the arts has resulted in many artists growing understandably obsessed with issues of climate change and the very fate of Planet Earth, has made this A Leap of Faith indeed. 36 artists, showcasing over 200 works in what may seem an eclectic feast of visual triggers – are connected in this undercurrent of apocalyptic obsession, and in what follows there are references to Earth aplenty – the use of earth itself as a media, depictions of the landscape irradiated and images of its denizens such as feasting meat ants. There are found objects rearranged – even the bulk of a Volkswagen Golf, grown obese with strange metallic fungus. All in all, |notfair| 2021 remains a stubborn celebration of creativity and imagination and skill in the face of adversity. The Curators |notfair| acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon we gather and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future. We recognize the strength, pride and expression of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 4 11.11.2020 was an ambitious date to set at the beginning of last year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of |notfair|. Unfortunately, due to the enduring COVID-19 restrictions, we were forced to postpone our fair to 2021. Now we are slowly coming out of a complex time of insecurity, collective depression and hardship, we feel that we must reach out and provide hope and opportunity through and for the arts and do it as soon as we can. We all know the arts sector is suffering immensely because of the pandemic, as art does not survive without an audience; it needs to be seen, heard and experienced to validate its very existence. If the intermission takes too long it will affect the very nature of who we are. At the same time, the intermission has forced us to reflect on what is behind us and the world we created, a world where equality still seems to be an utopian dream rather than a basic human right and a fundamental moral principle. It is our choice to make a difference. As an arts organization, |notfair| embraces diversity; it is the very nature of our beliefs and we will continue to support, unearth and empower artists, all different, all equal. We are excited to bring you |notfair| 2021 with a stellar line up of remarkable new artists. It is our greatest fair ever – a magnificent event to celebrate our 10th anniversary and the awakening of the arts after the forced intermission. Anne Runhardt – Chair, |notfair| Art Foundation 5 Arkley Award 2021 The memory of much-loved artist Howard Arkley is honoured by the Arkley Award, established in 2010 by Arkley’s mother, Gwen and her late partner Frank Lewis. The aim of the prize is to acknowledge the skills of emerging artists and reflect Howard Arkley’s passion as practitioner and teacher. “We’ve done it in memory of Howard,” said Gwen Arkley. “I feel he would have wanted to help younger artists. He won awards himself, but he was also a very generous artist, teacher and friend.” The $5,000 non-acquisitive award focusses on talent in painting and photography. Previous recipients include Isabelle de Kleine (2016), Hari Ho (2014), Simon Finn (2012) and Jake Walker (2010). The Arkly Award 2021 will be judged by artists and |notfair| founders and curators Tony Lloyd and Sam Leach and is made possible by John Pereira, director of William Partners Lawyers & Consultants and Cary Stynes, director of Botanic Wellness Medicinal BDC Hemp Company. 6 Anne Runhardt Art Award Established in 2017, the Anne Runhardt Art Award was founded to uncover and enable outstanding talent within the visual arts. The $5,000 non-acquisitive award is dedicated to independent, experimental and thought-provoking art deserving of greater recognition and opportunity. All participating artists of |notfair| are considered finalists of the Anne Runhardt Art Award. The inaugural 2017 winner was Chris Henschke for his enigmatic work Songs of the Phenomena (2016). A transformed nuclear reactor, a mechanical beast, feeding of fruit through electrodes, softy howling, pulsing, creating random sounds. The work was since acquired by Dark MOFO, under auspices of MOMA Hobart. The 2017 award was judged by Gareth Sansom - who’s retrospect exhibition Transformer was showing at NGV Australia at that same time – together with Ashley Crawford and Anne Runhardt. The 2021 Anne Runhardt Award will again be judged by Ashley Crawford and Anne Runhardt together with guest judge, art collector and philanthropist Danielle Besen. 7 The Lennox Award A House Haunted… by Art Ghosts, Gangsters, Artists, Actors, Authors and Musicians have all collided in this magical abode. A veritable Who’s Who of Melbourne’s cultural characters have collected, at one time or another, at a former pub, now dubbed The Lennox, at Richmond’s 208 Lennox Street. The Lennox Award is founded to enable emerging artist to exhibit and connect at this historical venue. It offers a free exhibition with a fully catered opening night. The award is kindly presented by Helen Bogdan. The Lennox Award 2021 will be judged by Helen Bogdan and the Ashley Crawford. 208Lennoxstreet.com 8 A proud supporter of |notfair| 2021 Windsor park is a collection of homes of absolute 61—71 McIlwrick St A Living Vision by Sinclair Brook Windsor 3181 Together with Wilbow Group quietness, strength and elegance coming to the site Architecture by Jackson Clements Burrows of this year’s NotFair Exhibition.

Arjona draws forth these concoctions from significant moments in waking life, altered states and the subconscious. Some works read like psychedelic souvenirs, collected on route from Arjona’s recent travels in southern India. There are, depictions of Mount Arunachala, the flame lit upon its peak in celebration of Shiva Shakti. Other ritual symbols are remembered and reconstructed with a self-portrait, decapitated motif. These visceral and surreal scenes conjure complex narratives, curiosity, and questioning around the nature of existence and the search for meaning. The mix of realism, cartoon, and fluorescent saturation lifts Arjona’s compositions to the point of crescendo, an exuberant display of anxious tension and hysterical exaltation. With over 20 years of professional creative practice, Arjona is now based in rural Victoria. Her work is included in many private and public collections including The Art Gallery of South Australia and Art Bank. Arjona’s most recent exhibitions include; A-holeistic Approach 2015 at Blank Space Gallery, Surry Hills NSW, Already Dead 2015, Rock ‘N’ Roll Redneck 2014 at CASPA in Castlemaine Victoria and Caged in Flesh 2019 at C3 Gallery Abbotsford, Melbourne. @haylesarjona Opposite: Hayley Arjona Constant Karma 2020, 165 x 120 cm, image courtesy of the artist 12 13 Simon Attwooll ‘I utilise screen printing to investigate how found photography can be re- purposed into a new idea.

I am interested in energy and the way it can make us feel, affect our mood, and through this mode of photography, I can help to make that more visible. That, to me, is a most exciting combination of science and magic.” Ballis is a fine art photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Her work explores the themes of seeing the unseen and she is frequently traveling to destinations that already feel otherworldly, and making them seem even more foreign to the earth we know. In her Infra Realism series, Ballis creates unique, colour-drenched images using infrared technology. Ballis came to a full-time art career after studying Arts and Law at the University of Melbourne and practicing as a media and entertainment lawyer while moonlighting as a photographer.

    EDUCATION KIT 8 SCULPTURE BY THE SEA, CASE STUDY Image: Kids Choice 2017, James Dive, 'What a Tasty Looking Burger', Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi 2017. Photo Clyde Yee. SCULPTURE BY THE SEA: AN OVERVIEW “The idea of Sculpture by the Sea was simple… to stage a large free to the public sculpture exhibition along the spectacular 2km Bondi Coastal walk for the people of Sydney and its visitors to enjoy.” David Handley, Founding Director. Sculpture by the Sea’s mission is to provide a major, free to the public, sculpture exhibition that transforms beautiful and popular coastal locations into temporary, large-scale outdoor exhibition spaces for all to enjoy. The exhibition aims to broaden audience engagement and understanding of sculpture. Sculpture by the Sea continues to grow each year in both scale and diversity, providing more opportunities for a wide range of local, interstate and international artists to showcase their remarkably varied outdoors works. HISTORY Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi In 1995, Sculpture by the Sea’s Founding Director, David Handley, was living and working in Prague. During this time, he visited an outdoor sculpture park in Klatovy, Northern Bohemia, and felt inspired to begin something similar in Australia. Upon his return to Sydney in 1996, David took the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk and noticed a myriad of natural plinths in the landscape. With this inspiring location at hand, and the idea of creating an outdoor, free to the public, visual arts event, Sculpture by the Sea was born! Carolyn Holloway, Angela Femia, Carolyn Hunter, counterpoint, Sculpture by the The first Sculpture by the Sea exhibition was held in May, Sea, Bondi 2001.

  • Fashioning Arkley
    Fashioning Howard Arkley Keywords: Arkley / fashion / self-fashioning Abstract Melbourne painter Howard Arkley (1951-99) is best known for his images of suburban houses, but during his twenty-five-year-long career he explored a wide range of themes, including the human body and its embellishment. Fashion and textile design interested Arkley as forms of contemporary visual culture with popular, everyday and ‘functional’ dimensions. In the later 1970s, he recycled patterns derived from fabric and other everyday sources, as part of his investigation of the parallels and contradictions between abstraction and domestic decoration. In the early 1980s, he turned to figuration, incorporating references to Punk, graffiti, tattooing and other signs of ‘subcultural’ style; the body, in these works, became the site for contradictory forces. In 1984, Arkley made extensive plans for his own ‘Fashion Show’, and, even though this exhibition never eventuated, a clear sense of the works he planned for it may be gained from his detailed notes and sketches, and relevant source material extant in his studio collection. With these ideas still fresh in his mind, he came across the special fashion issue of Domus magazine, published in March 1985, which provided him with further inspiration. Alessandro Mendini’s Domus editorial, treating fashion as a medium whereby everyone can behave as an artist, surely struck a chord with Arkley, in light of his long-standing interest in dissolving distinctions between art and the everyday, and his own taste for idiosyncratic clothing and masquerade. Finally, Arkley’s own ‘self-styling’ is discussed, in connection with various images of and by him; and some consideration is given to the theoretical issue of ‘fashioning the self’ and its relationship to the construction of identity.

I sit on the USBID’s Streetscapes and Public Realm Advisory Committee who put forth this project. When the public realm is activated in a positive way such as with public art, it creates a sense of place. In this case, we want those who work, play, and live around Union Square to have a positive experience. I firmly believe this art installation will enhance their experience. I urge the City and County of San Francisco’s Art Commission to support this project as it would celebrate the rich diversity of the Union Square District.

  • Gareth Sansom
    JAMES GLEESON INTERVIEWS: GARETH SANSOM 28 November 1978 JAMES GLEESON: Gareth, can we begin right at the beginning; exactly when were you born and where? GARETH SANSOM: I was born on the 19th November 1939 in Melbourne, of a parentage, father from Western Australia and mother from the Wimmera area of Victoria. JAMES GLEESON: Any background of interest in the arts in your family? GARETH SANSOM: Well, thereʼs a very slim, tenuous connection possibly with my father who was a journalist for many years on The Herald newspaper, and for some of that time he was vaguely involved in film criticism. But apart from that, I think not, not a heavy cultural link. JAMES GLEESON: How did you become interested in art then? Was it an early awareness of it or did it— GARETH SANSOM: Probably I always drew, and I was always the person in primary school whose work was being selected for the back wall. When I got to high school it was still interesting to me but never anything more than, say, ʻa hobby situationʼ. JAMES GLEESON: Yes, yes. GARETH SANSOM: Then in 1954 the art teacher at Essendon High School selected a batch of works for the Sun Youth Art Show in Melbourne–when I was 14 or 15–and he left me out because in his opinion he didnʼt think I was good enough. So I sent in a private entry and won. After that I started getting high marks in art at school. It appeared to me that there may be something in this ability, if you like, that I might pursue.
